SAARIKORPI.COMCrafting immersive media & spatial computing from Finland.

My career spans over three decades in specialized photography and immersive visual arts — a continuous, hands-on journey into how we perceive, document, and rebuild the world around us in digital form.

I have been involved with 360° imaging and digital twin technology since its early days, and with 3D Gaussian Splatting from the very beginning. Over the years, I have built deep expertise in constructing digital twins and capturing 360° environments from both air and ground — translating real spaces into immersive, interactive data. I have also taken part in significant development projects across Europe, collaborating with research institutions and industry partners to advance spatial capture and reconstruction workflows.

Operating from the Joensuu Science Park in Finland, I work with international clients and forward-leaning brands to solve complex spatial challenges — from high-speed motorsport environments to large-scale cultural heritage documentation. My background includes producing specialized visual content for Red Bull WRC Rally promoters, where precision, speed, and creative reliability are essential.

My pipeline runs on dedicated, ultra-high-end Windows Workstations built specifically for heavy 3DGS training — leveraging NVIDIA RTX architecture with massive CUDA core counts and high VRAM to process spatial datasets locally, without relying on cloud servers. For creative finishing, color and edit, I work on Apple Silicon Macs — even though Gaussian Splatting training is not yet a Mac-native workflow, the Apple ecosystem remains unmatched for post-production. The result: uncompromised data security, rapid turnaround, and hyper-real fidelity on impossibly complex geometries.

Alongside my work in spatial media, I have had the privilege of collaborating with some of the world's most iconic brands and artists. I have produced visual content and aerial cinematography for McDonald's, Red Bull, WRC, UNESCO, and Nightwish — and travelled the globe with internationally acclaimed light artist Kari Kola, documenting some of the largest light artworks ever created.
